Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canucks, esp. those who are dealing with the smell that is a strike in Toronto (literal smell this time too). I’ve decided to give Rainmeter another shot, and here’s the outcome!

HD 212 PRO?
Tuesday, June 16th, 2009 | Music, Personal | 1 Comment
Now that I’ve placed in an order for some Sennheiser CX400 to replace my Creative EP630, I’ve now been on a path to find a separate pair of headphones (not earphones). Some products I’ve been looking at include:
Sennheiser HD212PRO/HD228/HD238
Based on the pricetag on these, it seems the HD212PRO will be a clear winner. But do you have suggestions? If you do (beyond “those look ugly”) then leave one!

I want to go! There’s nothing like an infinite amount of guitars to try over 3 days!

A good friend and fellow musician Carl and I are considering making commission t-shirts customized to your liking from colour of the shirt to the details of your Logo. If you would like to fetch yourself or a loved one a one-of-a-kind design to blow them away on their next birthday/anniversary/any other arbitrarily appointed day of celebration, contact me loud.tees@gusto5.net.

The Quest to 5500 SB
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009 | Personal | No Comments
Typically achieving small isn’t a primary goal for me to reach. Usually I like to set ridiculous expectations that I know I can’t (or shouldn’t, on a regular basis) have the capacity to reach. So where is the relevance in what I’m saying?
Recently a friend of mine introduced me to Swagbucks.com, a points-based reward system in which an individual fulfills a number of options in terms of requirements in exchange for points (be it shopping with affiliated companies or simply running searches through them). The prizes to be redeemed can range from $5 Amazon discount cards, to this massive $400 gift card from our friendly online music store, musiciansfriend.com.
If it so works out that in some miraculous way that I manage to earn 5500 SB (the currency used at Swagbucks.com) then I will be sure to use it on a purchase not for myself, but for someone close by. Here’s to 5400 more SB to go!

The Love Paradox
Wednesday, March 25th, 2009 | Personal | 1 Comment
For the sixth time this week (and currently still only Wednesday morning at time of this post) I’ve avoided being slapped, sotospeak, because of the fact that that I haven’t found someone to slap me (see wut I did thar?!). As such I’m currently looking to hire a Logical Paradox Specialist to aid me in this case. If you are an individual who likes to do hands-on work and works well and efficiently with other LPS, feel free to drop me your resume at gusto5@gusto5.net.
If there wasn’t enough laughter behind that, my wireless doesn’t work in the 24/7 computer lab. LAFF.
